Two Vermont residents were the victims of the violent head-on crash early Friday on County Route 25 in Washington County.

The county sheriff's office identified the driver of one of the cars — a 1991 red Chevrolet Camaro — as 20-year-old Mollie Loftie of Wells, Vt.

The other was Adam Devino, 28, of Poultney, Vt., who was driving a gray 2003 Dodge Intrepid that burst into flames after the collision, authorities said.

A witness driving east told investigators that Devino's car passed her moments before the 5:18 a.m. wreck by crossing a double-yellow line as the road crested a hill, slamming head-on into Loftie's westbound Camaro, the sheriff's office said.

The force of the crash threw Devino's car onto the eastbound shoulder while Loftie's spun to a rest facing east in the road's westbound lane, the sheriff's office said.

Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, authorities said.
